Hi Alex & Christopher,

I installed emacs-ag but was a bit disappointed there was no INFO. I see
it can be built from ...

/gnu/store/...emacs-ag-0.47/share/emacs/site-lisp/guix.d/ag-0.47/docs

... using python-sphinx + texinfo. Is there any interest on your part(s)
in adding INFO to the package? If not, I was wondering how one might add
it. Would it be something like ...

    (native-inputs ;; so we can build INFO doc
     `(("python-sphinx" ,python-sphinx)
       ("texinfo" ,texinfo)))

... plus fiddle with #:phases? Or is there a better way? TIA - George

No interest from me: I've never used 'emacs-ag' and am not going to do
it, sorry :-(

It is probably the only way: one need to add a phase that would run
"makeinfo" (as it is done in 'haskell-mode' package, for example).
Though I have no idea how 'python-sphinx' should be used there.
